SentineiIa.

There is nothing so little under
stood as the value of an advertisement
The value il almost invariably in pro-
portion to the circulation given it.
The object of the advertiser is to make
his business known as extensively as
possible among those whose patronage
he solicits. If one paper makes that
business known to five hundred read
ers, and another to five thousand, the
latter is worth to the advertiser just
ten times as much as the former and
get very large majority Of advertis-
ers don't know one difference, and i'm
agine they save money by getting the
cheapest advertising. There is another
matter just as little understood; we
mean the cost of the advertisement to
the publisher. That cost is nearly in
proportion to the circulation. This
cost consists in composition, in press
work, in paper, in mailing, IN wear
and tear OF type, press, &c. The first
item is much the smallest, for an ad-
vertlsement to continue any length of
time, and the cost of this is Just the
same, no matter what the circulation
But all the other items, constituting,
generally, mere than nine-tenths of
the whole cost, increase fast in pro-
portion to the circulation That is,
one paper having ten times the circu-
lation of another has to pay about ten
times as much for press work, paper,
work of mailing, and wear and tear of
material, and were the two papers to
charge the same for the same adver-
tisement, the more largely circulated
paper would lose money by the opera
ton, while the other would make large
profit. The SENTINEL's charges are
in proportion to its circulation.
Tradition assigns the origin of the
name, Scotland Neck to a band of
Scotch who after the trouble of "the
45'' ESQ graphically depicted by Sir
Walter Scott in " Waverly) settled in
neck of the Roanoke river. A pine
tree has been pointed out as the last
resting place of the leader of the band
Lord Marine.

over the entire county it is favored. It
has evidently grown in popularity
since its passage. The Courier says
even those who at first bitterly oppos-

ponents to the law, but pay it strict
obeyance.

1t is Understood in Washington
that Gen. w. r. Cox will succeed
SUNSET" Cox as Minister to Turkey.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times says:
He is chairman of the Committee on Reform
in the Civil Service, and as the champion OF
the policy to which his party and President
were pledged, he became the object at home of
a reactionary opposition which prevented his
denomination. He is man of the strietest in
tegrity, of good address, and of industrious hab-
its and his appointment will be regarded with
great favor BY those who know the man.

CHARACTER READING BY EAR.

An ear which presents no well defined ele-
vations and depressions indicates selfshness
and want of delicacy of perception.
A thin indicates keen susceptibility.
An alert man has which projects
from the head
A thick, well shaped, highly tinted ear, set
well forward, denotes ungrateful grasping
and lack OF depth of feeling.
The perfect ear is one that lies close to the
head and Is gracefully rounded with pretty
curves, strong lines and firm, delicately tinted
cartilage.

the great show should make up for lost
time. In fact, this is what the manage

the afternoon the chief executive
of the United States with his beautiful
wife, the first lady of the land, will be

of the very distinguished pair during
the short soiourn they make in the city.
Wednesday is Labor day. The prin-
cipal events will be an address Oh the

THE WEEKS ATTRACTIONS.

Since the appearance of Booth and
Barrett here at the Hennepin Avenue
theater nothing has attracted quite as
much attention as the engagement for
one week of Margaret Mather at the
Grand opera house. The engagement
begins this evening and will be an event
not soon to be forgotten by the theater-
going public. The appearance of
Miss Clara Louise Thompson, Mime
apolis lady, with the company, of course
adds to the local interest. Miss Mather
has many friends in Minneapolis, and
as her repertoire is pleasing one, there
is no doubt but that the house will be
crowded each night. Indeed, the seat
sale already shows that such will be
case. Following is the repertoire:
"Romeo and Juliet" Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday evenings and SATURDAY.
matinee; 1.-THE Honeymoon" Tuesday
evening; ''Leah, the Forsaken," Thurs
day evening; Lady Macbeth Satur-
day evening.
Neil Burgess, the eminent comedian,
opens weeks engagement at the new
Hennepin Avenue theater in his laugh
able comedy VIM" which has met
with such popular favor in New York,
where it ran for nearly 500 nights. A
special feature of this engagement will
be the great circus scene in the third
act, in which will appear the 'spatentre-
volving STAGE" with live horse in full
motion on it. Mr.. Burgess has secured
an exceptionally strong company, which
includes many prominent nan,eS, headed
by Joseph Palmer, the original Josiah
Puffy. In the circus scene BOwles and
McVey, the marvellous acrobats, within
trOduce their wonderful feats. Souvenirs
will be distributed every evening during
the week. The advance sale of Seats has
been large.
The great sensational drama of ssFoul
Play" will be given at the Pence opera
house the first half Of the week, and
MARY Warner, or the Sacrifice of
Love- the latter half. There will be
the, usual matinees. The past week was
a,good one at this popular house, the
play of ''The Serpent and the Doye''
drawing large houses.
Among the attractions at the Dime
Museum this week is the three-headed
woman. Piffer Bey, the tenor of the
Soudan the great parlor circus and the
two theater companies.

Great Times.

There were large times at the first
precinct police station Saturday night.
Late in the evening a man was brought
in suffering from delirium tremenS.
He imagined he was pursued by three
little devils and thought that red snakes
with green tails were wiggiing around
on the floor. He had one round, rough
and tumble, with Tailor Hurley, in which
he came out second best. A little while
later two men, brought in drunk, who
had been placed in the same cell, be-
came involved in quarrel and things
were Sultry for awhile.

regular matters of interest. Minneapolis will
be a rather lively city this week.
After the terrific cloud burst over the
Eighth ward last Saturday night the saloon u
less territory found itself more in favor of
prohibition than ever.
1t has been found impossible to divide up
Mayor Ames and put section of him
into every carriage in the presidential Cor
tege.
In selecting the honored citizens who ARE
to ride with the presidential party, no one
has had the temerity to suggest that Judge
William WEIGH ride with Postmaster General
Villas.
The East side should turn out in force ID
hear Rev. j. NJ. Buckley talk on Christian
science tonight. That is the particularly in
fected district.

The Hurley House Full.

Despite the alleged fact that all the
saloons are closed ON Sunday and the
statement that no liquor can be obtained
twenty-nine men in the first precinct
station at $50 last evening. Of this num-
Der over twenty were in for drunken
ness, and most of them were most hor-
ribly drunk. Some had been fighting
and were covered with blood, presenting
delightful Spectacle. The assortment
of liquors found on the prisoners was
truly wonderful, ranging from poor
whisky TO pure alcohol.
